Free admission at CMOST Saturday

Children and their families will experience the world of nanoscience Saturday (April 2) for free at The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology in Troy, as the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering sponsors a free admission Nano Day.

Students from the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) will be joining the CMOST staff leading kids through a variety of hands-on science demonstrations that illustrate the size of nanoscale objects, their unique properties and some of the cool things that nanoscience can do. Kids will experiment with sunscreen, oven mitts, reactions and more.

The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. It’s located at 250 Jordan Road (in Rensselaer Technology Park).
